Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to
several vulnerabilities.

Description :

The remote host appears to be running phpCOIN, a software package for
web-hosting resellers to handle clients, orders, helpdesk queries, and
the like.

The version of phpCOIN installed on the remote host fails to sanitize
user-supplied input to the '_CCFG[_PKG_PATH_DBSE]' parameter of the
'config.php' script before using it in a PHP 'require_once' function.
Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an
unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this flaw to read
arbitrary files on the remote host and or run arbitrary code, possibly
taken from third-party hosts, subject to the rights of the web
server user id.

In addition, the application uses the 'phpcoinsessid' cookie for
database queries in the 'coin_cfg.php' script without sanitizing it,
which opens the application up to SQL injection attacks provided PHP's
'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled.
